Frozen shoulder is one of the most common shoulder problems an orthopedic surgeon sees in the office. Frozen shoulder often develops without any apparent reason, however, the risk of developing a frozen shoulder can increase if you have any of the following:
• A previous shoulder injury or shoulder surgery that resulted in a lack of motion in the shoulder joint
• A history of diabetes or a thyroid problem
• Genetic predisposition, such as people of Scandinavian descent. They are predisposed to frozen shoulder and Dupuytren’s contracture – a condition where small lumps of thickened tissue form in the hands and fingers.
